Step 1: Identify Competitors
Use web_search to find competitor products:

For each competitor ASIN, use web_fetch to gather current state:
- Product title and current price
- Best Seller Rank and category position
- Customer rating and review count
- Availability status (in stock/low stock/out of stock)
- Prime eligibility and shipping options
Step 3: Historical Context Research
Use web_search to understand competitor patterns:
- Search
"[ASIN] price history discount"— find pricing pattern information - Search
"[brand] new product launch amazon"— detect launch patterns - Search
"[ASIN] reviews complaints issues"— identify competitor weaknesses
